That seems to be the M Performance Steering Wheel. It's not necessarily from an M6, but my guess would be a) it's just a mockup, or b) it's from an unannounced car or refresh of a current car. M8 or M6 LCI perhaps? That would be amazing. What's the source of the picture? That might shed some light into its legitimacy or the vehicle it pertains to.

Not sure if I would get a new one, but I'd go out of my way to retrofit that puppy.

Actually looking at it on my computer, and judging from the shape of the leather and carbon fiber trim surrounding the instrument cluster, that looks like an M6's dash. If there is any legitimacy to that photo we may be onto something here. OP please let us know the source. If this is from BMW's or any legitimate partner's own Instagram account you may have found something really interesting.

Considering how the cluster of the i8 looks I wouldn't be too surprised if this was very much real for the 2015 M6 LCI

None of M Model hasn't got Multifunctional Instrument Panel. Even M3/M4 and incoming new X5M F15 / X6M F16 later this year.

What a pity. This would've been a nice little touch.

BMW will get there eventually too. I just hope they take their time. Info overload....

Here is what what Audi showed off at CES 2014 for the next gen TT.

Clearly a mockup the panel shows an automatic trans. No such beast in the M5/M6. And that wheel is M5/M6 only not 6er.

I just found this picture which is probably the original one.

All I can say is that BMW is taking things to a whole another level for 2015-2017 production cars!
